Updated 10/16/15
The City is currently in Drought Response Stage 1 which mandates alternate day outdoor
watering restriction. Even numbered addresses are only allowed to water on even numbered
days and odd numbered addresses may only water on odd numbered days. Drought Response
Plan details are available at https://weblink.cityofpt.us/weblink/0/doc/118749/Page1.aspx.
City water use averaged 770,331 gallons per day over the past seven days, 121,372 gallons
less than the previous week. Lords Lake was at 17’ 3” today, with approximately 215 million
gallons remaining in the reservoir, and river diversions were supplying 5.59 million gallons of
water. Last weekend more than an inch of rain in the watershed briefly raised stream flows
allowing 9” of water to be added to Lords Lake.
Water conservation tip of the week:
Winterize outdoor spigots when temperatures dip below freezing to prevent pipes from leaking
or bursting and for more immediate hot water and energy savings, insulate hot water pipes.
